The High Republic of The Two Islands is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High President Rashik with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.669 billion Islanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Islandtown. The average income tax rate is 84.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Islandic economy, worth 313 trillion Trilliums a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,544 Trilliums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

In musicals everybody's a little bit racist, the annual government yacht trip is sponsored by criminal syndicates, the road to salvation runs ramrod straight, and you're only as old as you feel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Two Islands's national animal is the Islandic Cardinal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Unism.

The Two Islands is ranked 34,754^th in the world and 1^st in Aurora League for Largest Black Market, with 43.4 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
